Hi. This is Kevin Linenmuth and for Expert Village I will be talking about camera angles
and camera moves. The bird s eye view is a shot that s directly overhead from your subject.
It could be overhead from a person or location or whatever. You see this a lot on TV you
see it on shows where they'll show like a city shot. Your directly above it and looking
straight down on the buildings it makes everything seem very small. It s kind of on a natural,
it s not like a natural shot of course bird s eye view but it doesn?t really necessarily
look a bird flying over. Though it could be used for that if you?ve seen any of the old
Beast Master movies where the person is seen through the eyes of bird. That s a very literal
Birdseye shot and that's pretty cool and that's also use for an effect. It makes things seem
less significant. It makes them seem very small. Used as an establishing shot as well
like the extremely long shot .You just see everything. Everything s wide open and you
can just see where it all take this. So again, you know it s not something that s use randomly
its ending its use for a specific purpose. Just as the extreme close up is used.
